Cycle Romania

We thoroughly enjoyed our cycling holiday in Romania. The tour was fully in line with the sales pitch on the Explore website. We really got to discover the country: sleepy rural villages, to historic fortified town, sweeping landscapes, rugged mountains. Our guide, Raz, was full of knowledge about history, culture, religion and nature, and throughout the trip helped us to pull together a rich insight into the country of Romania. The cycling was good fun. The accomodation was comfortable (the odd dog barking at night, but given that we were in the countryside to be expected).

Very interesting and varied tour, scenery and towns visited were fabulous. Both Raz and Geo, the guides, were extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Maybe an extra day or two of cycling would have been nice as you just wanted it to keep going :)

A great way to visit and experience wonderful Romania! The tour team - Elena, Lisa and Geo - were exceptional, ensuring the entire trip went smoothly, everyone had exactly what they needed to enjoy the experience and got the most out of the week. It was great to have tour leaders who were so knowledgeable about history, culture, geography, who were passionate about guiding and sharing their love of Romania and cycling, and had very good English, as well as being fun to travel with. The scenery was wonderful and the route ensured that each day we saw something special, as well as being away from traffic and able to really appreciate the countryside, and villages and towns. I would highly recommend this tour.

I've taken many cycling trips and found this one to be one of the least exciting in terms of the daytime itinerary and options for evening activities. There was too much downtime because we arrived at our destinations quite early when we could have made more stops in the small villages along the way. Also, the landscape wasn't that impressive for the majority of the time and there was no interaction with locals.

Tour leader and support staff were exceptional. Really positive, enthusiastic and helpful. Great way to glimpse rural aspects of Romania. Route had plenty of interesting stop offs and walkrounds. Good mix of off road and on road tracks. Could have done with a bit more shade on some of the longer rides but it was August! Accommodation was excellent.
